Intelligent event adaptation mechanism for business performance monitoring
First Claim
1. In a business performance monitoring (BPM) system in which business performance is measured by key performance indicators (KPIs) to reflect outcomes of an underlying information technology (IT) in a backend enterprise application, the improvement comprising an intelligent business event adapter receiving IT events and raw data from the backend enterprise application to capture, analyze, transform, enrich, aggregate, and correlate application-dependent IT-level events into a business level event which is communicated to a business performance monitoring (BPM) server.

Abstract
An intelligent business event adapter receives information technology (IT) events and raw data from a backend enterprise application to capture, analyze, transform, enrich, aggregate, and correlate application-dependent IT-level events into a business level event which is communicated to a business performance monitoring (BPM) server. The adapter comprises four modules: an Event Adaptation module, a business rules module, a data retriever module, and a data transformation module. The Event Adaptation module captures and analyzes IT events from the backend enterprise application. The business rules module stores business rules. The data retriever module is invoked by the Event Adaptation module to obtain business data according to business rules stored in the business rules module. The data transformation module forms business events to be forwarded to the BPM server.
